Hiya Peeps,

Hump Day!

Nothing new happening today. I am sticking close to home except for a meeting tonight.

Jason, zip lining?!?!?!??  OMG, you are braver than I am. That sounds like a Crystal type of thing to do. Never have done it, never had the desire to do it. You are very adventurous and brave. Glad u were able to wipe that off the bucket list.

Enjoy this day the Lord has made.

Hugs,

Sharon

Fluffer was born to my outside cat Oreo and he has lived inside since he was about 3 months old. He has never worn a collar until now.  That is what is so weird.  He must have been jealous of the other cats having collars.  He did not have one because of his lion cut.  But now he has one.  

You have done so well.  You deserve all the kudos that you are receiving!

Hi Peeps,

I cannot believe the amount of energy I am having lately. I did awake this morning and feel like I might be getting a cold, so I immediately got up, and took mega doses of Vitamin D and Vitamin C. I also took the stinging nettle since it is like uppers! I have done all my linens this am and now am looking for more to do. Amazing.

Funny, Nancy mentioned yesterday that she cannot believe the ages of her cousins. I was just thinking the same thing, kind of. I was feeling tired and run down last week after swimming. I had more to do and the day was going to end with babysitting my grand babies and I was thinking to myself. "Woman u are almost 60, of course you are tired." I said as much to my daughter as I dragged myself into her house and she told me, "get over it". I think age is in our minds, but I gotta say the aches and pains remind me sometimes of my age.

There is a light dusting of snow in Lockport. I am swimming later and running out to get cat food. I have a taste for neck bones and sauerkraut with dumplings so I think I will get out there as soon as the traffic is over so I can get back home quickly.

Whats happeneing to all my Dear Ones today??????

Hugs,

Sharon

Good Evening Everyone!

I stayed home sick today.  We went grocery shopping yesterday and the roads were awful and I felt awful and on the way to the store I made up my mind that I was not going to work today.  So I spent the day Cozy cuddling with the cats and napping.  I am glad I stayed home as the roads were nasty according to the news.  This morning there were lots of accidents due to blac**** and then it snowed this afternoon and I guess there were Lots more accidents tonight.  Tonight until early tomorrow morning we are getting freezing rain.  That does not make good walking conditions for me and I am losing my voice so it looks like I will be home tomorrow as well.  My biggest fear these days is falling.

I was talking to my oldest sister on Sunday and telling her I cant believe how old we are.  I thought our parents were OLD when they were this age!  I dont think we are that OLD.  Of course I am in denial.  My oldest cousin is in her mid 70's and that totally shocks me.  She CAN"T be that old!  We are NOT as old as our OLD aunts and uncles!  I keep telling myself that.  I even have an aunt who is in her late 90's and an uncle that is 104 so they are alive so WE are not OLD,  THEY are!   See, I am in DENIAL   The only thing I will admit is I am the poster child for "Help! I fell and can not get up!"  

I have a funny Fluffer story.  Rick put a collar on Fluffer and he became a different cat.  He actually turned into a cat, loving and wanting to be petted.  Well last week, Rick took the collar off to add a nametag and Fluffer would not come near either of us for a week!  Not even to get the collar back on.  Well when we caught him for grooming, we put the collar back on and now Fluffer is back to our loving cat who wants t o be loved and held!  Go Figure??? 

Crystal, that is odd about that girl.  I would be cautious of her.  Feel relieved that you got the nice letter.  It was good to share it with your supervisors.  Crystal, you better watch out, it sounds like Greg is going to turn you into an IT person!    You sound so happy!  I am so happy for you!  I am so glad that you have found Greg! 

Dawn, I am so proud of you for surviving your party!  That shows lots of strength and commitment!  Way to go!  You are doing super!   I saw the pictures you posted of Riley on facebook and it looked like she was having a fantastic time!

Lisa, you and Hubert seem to find so much to do.  That has been a blessing to have found each other as well.  So many years together is a wonderful testament to your commitment.  Stay safe and be careful out there in this weather.  I too find it hard to believe that we are in the end of January!  

Sharon, I am so glad you have come back home!  You too have become so strong and have accomplished so much in the past 6-8 months!  I am so proud of you as well!    You have made such huge steps in your recovery and such great leaps in you exercise!  What great accomplishments!  Keep up the great work!  

I am still on the mostly dark side of sushi.  We did stop at the sushi section one day at our local store and had a great conversation with their chef who is from Japan.  He relieved me of my fears of eating raw fish by helping me understand how they treat it to prevent food poisoning and gave us some samples.  They were really good but I still do not have enough nerve to make a meal of sushi.  

Everyone have a great week!  Stay safe!  Drive carefully!
